A BIC FUSS FOR NOTHING.

A large number OF people gathered
in front of Hamilton Johnsons store
this noon. Those on the outer circle
of the crowd pushed hard to get into
the building. The number of people
was continually increasing, and while
the excitement was in its height Il
thrilling cry was heard from within.
The pressure of the crowd then became
greater and greater, until the mad
dened mass of humanity, like huge
wave, burst through the doorway,
and on getting in the store discovered
a pig being taken from a box by a
Portuguese, under the careful direc-
ton of Mr.. CongdOn.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-''I never
granted a divorce more cheerfully than / do
this. and have granted several" said JUS
tice Merricb in the equity court to-day. 1t
was the case of Emma C. ID. Nick
erSon against Ozor H. Nickrson
The bill was flied June 20, 1883,
and created considerable of a SenSa-
ton at the time The defendant was an
officer in the United States army, and mar
ried the complainant in San Francisco Aug.
13. 1870. In March, 1879, they came to
this city to reside. The wife'S health being
poor, in July, 1850, she. with her child, at
her husbands suggestion went abroad. He
Kept up correspondence and sent remit
tances until May, 1882. From May 81,
1882. 10 April 24, 1883, Mrs. Nickerson was
III Dresden or Paris, and the latter date she
received telegram from her mother that
her husband had obtained fraudulent d.
VOrce and married Miss Lena Carter of
Washington. at whose house he had been
boarding. The first Mrs. Nickerson find
ing this state of affairs on her return
from Europe. went TO work TO
undo some of the mischief and after
the fraudulent divorce obtained by the
major had been set aside, she petitiOned for
divorce, charging him with adultery and
cruelty, asking alimony, custody OF their
child and permission to resume her maiden
name of Emma Cecilia Derby. In addition,
she filed bill to secure her share of the
property owned by her husband and trans
ferred by him to Miss Carter. When these
circumstances came to light, army circles
were astounded and the scandal spread
with remarkable speed. But the difficulty
into which the husband had got himself did
not end here. The Philadelphia court.
which had been imposed upon. transferred
the matter to the prosecuting attorney, and
soon Maj. NckerSon was indicted for OBJ
tanning divorce through fraud and subor
nation OF perjury. At the same time the
war department had taken the case up and
ordered a court-martial to try the officer on
the charge of perjury and other specitica-
lions. 1t was evident that the situation
was becoming too hot for the major and he
sought cooler climate in Canada, where
he has since resided, transacting his bust
ness in the United States through counsel
and friends

bVOuS NnFOnlcie.
In 1912 an old merchant in this city
started his son, who was somewhat disSi
pated, in business. When he set him I'D he
said to him: Now, my son, l have given
you ample capital. If you are steady and
take care of it and yourself, you will do we'll
and make a large fortune Keep out of
bad company-avod gambling | will in
dorse all your business notes for purchases.
II you 90 not do as wish, you will incur
my serious displeasure.
Years rolled on and the son seemed to be
doing well, when one morning well known
biackleg called on the old gentleman and
presented him with check on the Bank of
America for 81, 900
i have been to the bank" said the
gambler, land they refuse to pay it. Is
that your Signature?'
The son had lost that amount at the faro
table the night before 1t flashed across the
OLD merchants mind that something was
wrong, and he observed to the gambler.
Tive me that check and | will give you
another" He did so. and the gambler
went away satisfied. AS soon as he was
gone the old gentleman started for the
store of his son. All seemed sunshine
there. He spoke to his son:
II want to see you upstairs"
They went clear up to the garnet, out of
hearing. Then the eXasperated father
drew out of his pocket the check He put
it under the eye of his son:
What does this mean?"
The son WAS astounded. He tried to
shuttle it off-to explain it away. 1t was
of no use.
You shall no longer bring disgrace upon
me. L will put stopper on such goings
on"
On his way down to his sons store he
had bought heavy raWhide at a saddler's
shop. He took his son by the collar and
gave him most terrific cowhiding. When
he had finished he said:
Now. wind up your business as quick as
possible
The son left business never to engage in
1t again, and was never after regarded as of
any account by his father OF any one else

The presiden.,s seal,h.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Col. Lamont,
in conversation to-day i'll regard to the
presidents health, showed that the fears
recently expressed by DR.. Sewers are not
shared by the presidents family and his in
innate friends. The president, Col. Lamont
said. to all appearance is in perfect health.
He did not think DR.. Sewers was in posi-
ton to Judge of his health, as he did not
know the president, and what he said was.
in the coloners opinion, based merely on
the assumption that the president was gain
ing flesh and took no exercise. This was
not the case. AS a matter of fact he con-
tinued, the president weighs less than when
he first came to Washington, and really
takes as much exercise as most other men.
1t is true he does not walk about the city.
but he frequently walks in the country. and
there are other ways in which he gets exer-
else. The colonel added that, altogether,
the president is in good condition. and there
is no reason for experimenting serious dan
ger to his health.

THE TALK CONTINUES.
Cardiff and Killen Still Doing News
paper Fighting.
Liverpool and the Black Pearl Likely
to Meet.

&C. Murnane, Pat Kilen's hacker, yes
terday telegraphed the GLOBE:
Cardiff having covered Killen's forfeit,
shall be at Minneapolis Thursday to sign arti-
Giles of agreement.
John Donaldson, Cardiff's manager, was
shown the dispatch at MINNEAPOLIS last
night, and said: 'All right. l will meet
him and will sign articles for a match that
will make a fight that will settle the aues-
ton of superiority" Donaldson said further
that he will insist that the match shall take
place after Cardiff's meeting with Sullivan.
The object of this is clear. If Cardiff should
be defeated by Killen it would ruin him for
a match with Sullivan. If. however, Sullivan
knocks Cardiff out in six rounds it would
not damage his reputation much, as no one
counts upon his making more than a show
ing against the chief of all fighters. If
Murnane will consent to have the meeting
with Killen after Cardiff meets Sullivan, a
match for ten rounds or to finish can be
arranged. His dispatch indicates that he
will do this. and the prospects for match
on its merits are good. Donaldson is gifted
with no little financial acumen, and it will
be seen that he holds his man in position to
get two matches. each OF which will doubt
less be as profitable as the late Sullivan
Cardiff match at the Washington rink, to
which 5000 people paid admission at good
round prices.

For The Material Needed TO Put Our
Navy on IA Decent Footing.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Bids were
opened at noon to-day in the Office of the
secretary of the navy for 1,31O tons of
steel gun forgings and 4, 100 tons of steel
armor plate for the completion of vessels
now under construction by the department
The bids for 1910 tons of gun steel forging
were as follows: Cambria Iron company,
1851, 5l3 90; Medvale Steel company,
81, 397. go; Bethlehem Iron company
1902, 230.79. For the steel armor plate
there were two bids, as follows: Bethle-
hem Iron company, So, 61O, TOTO Cleve-
land Rolling Mill company, S4,021. $50.
The advertisement issued by the depart
ment contained Il provision requiring the
contractors to provide plant with all
needful appliances adequate to the manu-
facture of the forgings. and to deliver it
within periods ranging from thirty-three to
tfty-four months after the signing of the
contract in the case of gun steel. In the
case of the arnor plate the contractor is re-
Quired TO provide within two and one half
years plant capable of forging or rolling
800 tons of finished plates per month. and to
deliver all OF the armor within two years
thereafter Attached to the proposal made
by the Bethlehem company is an offer to
provide suitable plant within one and a
quarter years instead of the two and half
years allowed for the purpose. This COM
pany also states in a foot-note that the
armor plate required by the department is
fully up to the best plate manufactured in
Europe and higher in grade than any made
in this country. The bid proposes to sup
ply such plate, and they are prepared to
demonstrate the ability to do so. If plate
of a lower quality will be acceptable to the
department the company is prepared to
furnish it at lower price than that stated
in their bid. All Of the bids were accom-
panied by certified checks for $50. 600. The
bid of the Cleveland Roller Mill company
was handed to the secretary by a clerk after
the other bids had been opened, with the
explanation that it had just come to hand
through the mails. When the reading of
the bid had been completed Secretary Whit
ney announced that they would be taken
under consideration and the awards an
nounceG within fifteen days.
